Infrastructure - drones can perform hazardous work and acquire various data sets precisely and cost-effectively

Investment monitoring – support forproject during design process, construction phase and final work assessment

Maintenance –identification of defects faster, more thoroughly, cheaper and safer

Asset inventory – speed up of the process together with cost reduction and improvement of work safety

Pw C | page 8

Agriculture - sustainable increase of food production and prevention of environmental damage possible with drones

Crop supervision – large variety of cropmonitoring possibilities enhances the effectiveness

Soil and field analysis – application ofnecessary nutrients before sowing or data based planning of irrigation system

Health assessment – drones can spot the differences between healthy and distressed plants

Precise agriculture – thanks to precise maps of the filed, pesticides and water can be applied locally where needed

Pw C | page 9

Monitoring lines and sites – possibility of monitoring large and remote areas using of both live streaming cameras and sensors

Proactive reaction – possibility to spot dangerous situation for instance during the massive events

Security - drones can perform monitoring tasks quickly and efficiently

Pw C | page 10

Insurance - booming fraud and increasing damage from natural disasters are problems which can be solved

Risk monitoring – monitoring of threatened areas can support early warning system and hence prevent causalities and major damages

Risk assessment – support of the calculation of property value and causality damage thanks to accurate and precise data

Claims management & fraud prevention –prevention from fraud thanks to assessment of initial state of property and its condition after a reported incident

Pw C | page 11

Telecommunication - reduction of maintenance costs and becoming a part of infrastructure in the future

Maintenance enhancement – routine inspection of antennas without injury or life risk in shorter time and with lower costs

Future: Investment planning and network optimisation – support for radio-planning, performance of line-of-sight testing between the towers and examination of operators network

Future: Broadcasting telecommunication signals – providing the signal temporally or permanently for public events, rural areas or during natural disasters

Mining - drones can replace humans during dangerous jobs and increase effectiveness of open-pit mines

Planning – drones can provide geotechnical and hydrological data for open-pit mines

Exploration – drones can help in everyday tasks like soil sapling or tool delivery

Environment – drones are able to detect erosion, track changes in vegetation or defects

Reporting – mine’s digital model to supervise work progress and changes

Key barrier to the growth of drone solutions is lack of legal framework regarding drones flights – but not in Poland

Polish authorities developed regulatory framework that allows using drones for commercial purposes

Possibility to perform Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flights

Training required for pilots in order to obtain license

Insurance required for commercial flights in order to provide coverage for risks of physical losses or liabilities during and after drone operations up to $100,000

Drone’s pilot is required to hold a drone operator license (UAVO) to perform commercial flights

In order to perform Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flights drones pilots have to possess special license (UAVO BVLOS)
